Will Oldham : I See A Darkness
Intro:
Well you're my friend
And can you see
Many times we've been out drinking
Many times we've shared our thoughts
But did you ever, ever notice
the kinds of thoughts I got
Well you know I have a love
a love for everyone I know
And you know I have a drive
to live I won't let go
But can you see its opposition comes rising up sometimes
That it's dreadful and positioned comes blacking in my mind
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
And that I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
Is there hope that somehow you can save me from this darkness?
Well I hope that someday buddy, we have peace in our lives
Together or apart, alone or with our wives
And we can stop our whoreing
And pull the smiles inside
And light it up forever
And never go to sleep
My best unbeaten brother
This isn't all I see
Although I see a darkness
Although I see a darkness
I know I see a darkness
I know I see a darkness
Did you know how much I love you?
Is there hope that somehow you can save me from this darkness?
